A new and modern beautiful hotel. Lots to do and some great food to eat.
Service needs to improve for a 5 star hotel but the management are very accommodating/addressing any issues raised.
The Bissou bar is a standout for me and my wife with unbelievable service by Olivier.
Ideally located in the beautiful north of the Island, Residence Le Point Choisy offers clean, spacious, brightly decorated self-catered Apartments as well as a serviced Room Only option with 24hr security. We can arrange Airport transfers and Car hire prior to arrival if required.
The spectacular Mon Choisy Beach is located less than a 10-minute walk from the property and just a 10-minute drive to Grand Baie where you can find an abundance of shops, restaurants, bars, and clubs. There is also a great selection of bakeries, restaurants, supermarkets and a bar within 10 minutes walk from our residence. We are perfectly situated adjacent to the main road, with main bus routes and taxis available throughout the day

My partner and I received outstanding service during our stay at Residence Le Point Choisy in Mauritius. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that truly exceeded our expectations. Throughout our stay, every member of their staff went above and beyond to ensure that we felt welcomed and cared for. More so I want to extend a special thanks to Yash and Matt for arranging special activities, recommending exquisite dining options and simply attending to our needs with a smile, you both consistently demonstrated a level of professionalism and attentiveness that left a lasting impression on us. We definitely recommend guests to book at their place and we look forward to returning to your beautiful resort in the future and creating more cherished memories.
We had the most fantastic stay over new year. We arrived mid morning and were taken to the lounge , this arrangement seemed a little confused but as soon as we got our room everything fell into place. We stayed in a 2nd floor suite , beautiful room with a fantastic view. Staff were professional , helpful and friendly particularly Ishmail. Amazing new year eve dinner and fireworks. Food in the restaurant was 1st class every night. Only comment the lounge could be better used in the evenings and a little more music round the beach bar after dinner would improve the atmosphere. But small things compared to what the hotel has to offer.
My experience at this small guest house was beyond disappointing and hardly qualifies as a resort. It was the worst accommodation I've ever encountered. I had booked it for my birthday, paying in full for two days. Upon arrival, we were shown to a small windowless room, despite being two adults and my daughter. The room was a mess and without bedsheet and pillows, and when I asked for cutlery to cut my birthday cake in my room, the owner rudely refused, insisting I use their poorly decorated restaurant. This made me feel unwelcome and insignificant. Later that evening, we skipped dinner due to the unpleasant atmosphere created by the owner. Feeling uneasy and disappointed, I decided to leave in the middle of the night and requested a refund. However, instead of cooperating, the owner insulted me, shouting and humiliating me in front of my daughter. It was a traumatic experience. Despite my requests, she adamantly refused any refund, treating me disrespectfully throughout. I strongly advise against spending your money at this place. The owner's behavior was rude, disrespectful, and exhibited a poor colonial mentality. She demonstrated a complete lack of respect for customers, making my stay unbearable. This experience was so distressing that I urge others to avoid subjecting themselves or their families to such treatment.
The hotel is in need of a makeover, some of the fittings a little outdated. The pool is little more than a plunge pool though the setting is superb. The breakfast is average, so much so that whilst my wife went for breakfast most days I stayed in the room and just had yoghurts. The minibar doesn’t work and nothing is cold in it. There’s no room service menu though they allow outside deliveries for guests. That’s all the bad points. Now for the good points.
The rooftop bar is relaxed and atmospheric, the sunsets there are sensational and the cocktails are superb. The service from the staff was incredible. Always helpful and informative and willing to go the extra mile to make you welcome and that makes up for the shortcomings of the actual building itself.
Also the location close to Perrybere beach and a short taxi ride to Grand Baie is pretty good too, though it’s a long taxi ride from the airport.
You need to manage your expectations when you book a stay at Ocean Villas. You might have watched their fancy YouTube video but it's not reality. You'll also see videos from past guests. And it's fair to say that these videos show the icing on the cake and core ingredients. If you saw a married couple from South Africa touring the hotel, be warned that they've shown the best parts. It's a 3 star establishment. And that means you're going to have to put up with a property that was built circa 1980s. There were signs of wear and tear everywhere. As you walk through the front door, some parts of the villas needed a bit of filler and a lick of paint. Some of the furniture had seen better days and our shower door leaked every time we took a shower. But the villa was clean. The beds were comfortable and our villa had amenities that you wouldn't expect. A safe, hair dryer and a microwave was available. A bottle of mineral water (Crystal) was also provided on arrival and parking outside the villas was convenient. As for the grounds, the gardens are kept well. It's not going to blow you away but again it's 3 star. The swimming pool didn't look as clean as we'd like. We opted not to go for a dip. The cushions on the seats were covered in stains. Not great. The beach was decent. The view out to the bay was great. You can swim but when we stayed, the sea was choppy but that's not the hotel's problem. What's great about Oceans Villa is its location. You're only 5 minutes away in a car from the best public beaches. Namely Trou aux Biches, Mon Choisy, Pereybere and La Cuvette. So you're spoilt for choice. We'd like to praise the service at the hotel. The kitchen staff and serving staff were accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The entertainment in the evening was particularly good, and you'll certainly be tapping your toes and most likely dancing. Lastly the food. There's a good selection of food but too much MSG added to it. Every morning, we woke up to that awful salty taste on our tongues. So as you can gather there's some good parts to Oceans Villas but you're going to have to put up with some bad parts. if you're on a budget and happy to stay in a 3 star establishment where you can experience the beaches in the North, it's a good place to stay. Would we stay there again? I'd most likely opt for a self catering apartment. We felt for the money, we'd get better quality of facilities but then again we'd have to prepare our food.
CCHRISTEL JOSEEThis accommodation is very affordable, basic but very well location, car park is very handy. If you need new towels you need to let them know. Kitchen wise, basic, but does the job. Room very big, with balcony. Staff very friendly. Due to other comments I came with some cleaning stuff from home. The apartment was clean.
If you’re looking for something affordable, this is an option
